Walker Engineered Products

Processor Vessels:

• the design and fabrication to 3-A Sanitary Standards
• the saving of process steps
• the ease of integrating a Walker vessel into a process line
• the flexibility of materials, vessel configurations and capacities from 10 to 10,000 gallons

Heat Transfer Technologies
Walker offers various technologies for heat transfer including channel on side wall, dimples on bottom cone and half pipe for high temperature applications in the chemical industry.

Processor Configurations
Available configurations of processors include cone bottom, dish top/bottom, slope bottom, open top or flat top w/ hinged covers and more.

Flexibility of Materials
Our engineers can specify the right stainless steel or other metal options for your applications: 304 stainless; 316; AL6XN more resistant to chlorine attack; alloy 20 for chemical process applications; Hastalloy for pharmaceutical and personal care products.

3-A Sanitary Standards
3-A Sanitary Standards are the gold standard for processor vessels. Walker is committed to designing and manufacturing to these benchmark sanitary standards that certify hygienic equipment design for dairy and food processing equipment.  Walker Engineered Products is the only stainless steel vessel fabricator that has the 3-A authorization symbol for five categories: silos, uninsulated tanks, storage tanks, batch processors, and batch pasteurizers.

WalkerEngineered Products designs, builds, and services exceptional stainless steel tanks and vessels.  The superior rigidity, surface quality and durability inherent in Walker stainless steel fabrication increase the efficiency and consistency of our customers’ products and processes.

At Walker we focus our engineering skills and expertise on the innovative and sophisticated sanitary design of our storage vessels, process tanks, and custom stainless steel fabrications.  Our customers recognize that polished vessels are an integral part of Walker design. They know that they are getting the highest value products and technology solutions for the most challenging storage, mixing and processing applications in their industries.   The technology behind Walker Engineered Products ensures quality in a wide range of markets that mix, blend, process and store.

• Food
• Beverage
• Pharmaceuticals
• Personal Care
• Fine Chemicals

Walker Engineered Products uses leading edge materials and state of the art fabrication to deliver on our customers’ expectations across a broad range of stainless steel tanks for storage, mixing and processing, including agitated vessels, pressure vessels, round horizontals and vertical storage silo tanks holding up to 70,000 gallons.

The agitation technologies, heat transfer solutions and cleaning options Walker provides to customers are designed for the demands of specific vessel content, design and use.

• We manufacture unique vertical and horizontal agitation for silos.
• We fabricate a full line of agitators –turbine, sweep, scraped surface, counter rotating, squirrel cage, finger baffles and more – for processing, mixing, and blending vessels.
• We engineer heat transfer surfaces including dimple, channel and half pipe for heating and cooling of virtually any vessel.
• Various cleaning options – CIP, spray ball– facilitate the cleanability of Walker vessels, reduce energy consumption, and lower water demand in the cleaning cycle.

Walker can meet the specifications of all your specialized applications with custom stainless steel fabrication using higher alloys such as Hastalloy and AL 6XN®.  And if a pressure vessel requires ASME certification, we can provide that along with other codes, including CRN and PED.

Walker designs serviceability into all of our stainless steel vessels to keep basic customer maintenance to a minimum.  For those occasions when a replacement or repair is necessary, we have field specialists who work on location.

Walker Engineered Products is perceived as a quality organization in stainless steel manufacturing, held in high regard for its traditional Midwest values of hard work and reliability.  Our employees are quality driven, always ready to take advantage of new ideas and streamline processes.  And this shows in the pride they take in sharing our engineering know-how, design capabilities and fabrication experience with our customers.
